How many known elements have atoms, in their ground-state, with valence electrons whose quantum numbers are n = 5 and l = 1?a. 36.. b. 37.
c. 6.
d. 8.

c. 6.

Explanation:

Looking at the description given in the question, the elements involved must belong to the p- block of the periodic table and must be in period 5. They also must possess valence electrons in the 5p- orbital.

Now if we look at the p- block of period 5, the following elements satisfy these  requirements; Sr, In, Sn, Sb, Te and I.

Hence there are six of such elements.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
